Miss Ellie was found walking across a busy highway in Caldwell, Idaho, on July 20, 2024. Efforts to
find her people came up empty, and on Aug. 3 she delivered seven pups. Vets
estimate her age to be somewhere between 1-2 years old. She weighs 38 pounds.
Wisdom Panel DNA on one of the puppies revealed 77% Australian cattle dog, single-digit
percentages of Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Collie. It is safe to say that Ellie is primarily Australian cattle dog.
Ellie is housetrained, crate trained, quite affectionate and happy, thoroughly enjoys other dogs, leaves cats to themselves; although, she will chase if they run. She hunts like a fox or coyote, hearing the slightest movement in alfalfa fields/grasses and pouncing. Ellie is an active dog and enjoys her daily outings. She is housetrained and desires to be near her people as much as possible—even wants to be touching someone while she sleeps.
Ellie's adoption fee is $350 and includes spay and vaccines.
